Why can't you see stars in the day time?

Rayleigh scattering. This is the phenomenon that take light from the Sun and scatters it all over the sky. That's why the sky is blue, and it's the blue glare from the sky that drowns out all the stars. If you were in a location where scattered light from the sky didn't reach your eyes, then you WOULD be able to see the stars. For example, in a cave with a small opening to the sky, or a deep well or mine shaft.

The Olbers paradox suggests that the night sky is dark despite the countless number of stars in the universe because the light from distant stars may not have reached us yet, or it may have been absorbed or scattered by dust and gas in space. This means that not all the light from all the stars in the universe reaches Earth, resulting in a dark night sky.
